What this will mean to Sioux Lookout may be left to Sioux Outlookers to imagine. **Another impressive factor inclinâ€" ing to a belief that Savant is not all smoke without fire, is shown in the who have staked and are still staking in the area. _ Men of the breed of Bert Glover, Terrill, Jack Arthur, (George Potter (George is a Yukoner of the Sourdough class) Bill Fergusâ€" on, Marty Wrightâ€"to mention a few â€"are not easily enthused by the sight of a little gold, but, in this case, they have become excited, and of them, it may be said that they, in great part, incarnate the prospecting intelligence of the north.

Bert Terrill arrived in town this week from a recent trip to that section, bringing with him one of the monsters in the flesh,. It is a thirtyâ€" pound lake trout, caught through the ice of the lake in the neighborhood of the recent gold discoveries in that disâ€" who seoffed at the storâ€" ies of the big fish are now being conâ€" vinced their laughter was illâ€"timed, for Bert has the proof. This is conâ€" trary to the general run of fish storâ€" ies, as it is usually the big ones that eet awav."" and others look at it all differently and hope that the men who go to lired Lake will not exaggerate the size of their gold finds as much as they appear to exaggerate the size of the Ited Lake fish., The late Neh Faulâ€" kenham was one of the first to tell about the fish up there. Neh was clever enough always to find someâ€" ing good to say about a country withâ€" out stretching the truth. Neh mainâ€" tained that the fish in the Red Lake country streams and lakes were real whoppers. To anyone who looked at all doubtful he would say:â€"‘‘*Well, just to show you, T‘ll bring you down a big fish some time. Then you‘ll know what a Red Lake district fish really looks like.""‘ Neh passed away before he had an opportunity to make good ‘his promise. It seems that anâ€" other prospector, Bert Terrill, found similar doubters about the fish stories, and he has proven his point by subâ€" mitting a sample. The Haileyburian last week told the story in the followâ€" ing paragraph :â€"â€" \Everybody in this part of the counâ€" \w ho has talked to anyone who has been in the Red Lake district has heard about the monster fish that may be seen and caught in that area. In to this suggestion, no. doubt. those who have been to Red Lake will say that all who visit the district see big fish every time they look in a vrvel\. river or lake, and every time a meal of fish is eaten, the fish is sure to be a whopper. Apparently when a man in the Red Lake area catches a small fish or even an ordinaryâ€"size one he throws it back in the water with the injunetion, ‘‘Get back there. sonnie. and grow up and T‘ll get you a few years from now!‘‘ With all the talk about the big fish in the Red Lake district it is onl} natural that some people should come to believe that there are no small fish up there, NO DOUBT HE SAYS THAT BIGGER ONE DID GET AWAY CURTIS OPTICAL CO. for any meal all the year‘round â€"the whole wheat in a digestible form â€" all the bran you need .
